Unfaithful FC mates ANNOY me...

[NephthysVasudan]

I mean, it's not like people swear their allegiance to you when they join your FC, so I don't really think "unfaithful" is the right word. No one is obligated to remain in the FC once they accept your invite.

While I'll be first to scream "CLAN LOYALTY" (I'm old skool so sue me) - The name of the organization is "FREE Company" - emphasis on FREE.


This game is designed to be fluid....there is no loyalty built in.
The issue (looks at OP) is your inappropriate level of expectation.
If your going to let members into your FC - then you better do your best to filter.
If you want it to stop...do something about it. Or do your own FC. (Assuming your leadership...if not..then you should talk to your leadership)

In my FC - I can spot these kinds a mile away....leaving only the one offs.
Course my FC is a School...not hard core savage or whatever.....Ive only lost a couple people...both for obvious reasons..and rather not have that/them in the FC in the first place.

As a result..we are drama free..and stable. Bottom line - it comes down to the leadership...and the way you acquire members.
If you just spam invites....well...you can figure out the rest.

Much like an employer hiring new people blindly...you get what you ask for. No its not perfect...but at least put some effort into it. It's a two way street after all. Yes some people abuse that. Hence proper expectations.

"Unfaithful" might be a bit extreme. This isn't a marriage!

The game doesn't really put much emphasis on FCs, given that the large entry-level raids are automatched in DF and the organized Savage etc only requires 8 people.
Outside of the buffs - you could quite easily spend your entire game life out of an FC.

Also OP, you sound mental. I can see people not being into that.

Much like every other Super Bee post, this is more trolling, and I'm a little ashamed that I let myself get sucked in.

*sigh*

Just file this under "speaking up to bring sanity/order to the forums" and you'll be fine...or at least less dirty.

I guess the real question is... Why the heck are you a king if you're a woman? You do realize that women are incapable of leadership, right?

(Not serious)

Haha, it's just a first name, not a title!
A strange first name I suppose but you're one of very few who ever brought this up. Congrats!

Hey you know what else is annoying? Having an FC advertise they're "active" and it turning out to be only 3-4 players on at any given time. When I join an FC I'm not going to stick around if they were falsely advertising something about their FC that isn't true.

Hate to point out the obvious...but one would think that with the information you provided it would be safe to make the following assumptions:

1: 3-4 Members - likely brand new
2: A particular window of time
3: All FC's have to start somewhere.

That said..if it doesn't fit the bill...then move along.
But I can't help but ask - did you even ask the right questions when you joined?

Communication is a 2 way street.

Now if you where lied too....fine....you got me there. But 3-4 members....I rarely find people on 24/7 <will ok maybe there are some who do that>

Communication is a 2 way street.

One: It was an example and indeed it is brand new in this scenario.
Two: That's my fault for being unclear but I meant to say that I stick around for a day or two.
Three: That's irrelevant to the point both of us were trying to make...Unless you're trying to say new FCs lying is justified.

Now if you where lied too....fine....you got me there.

Checkmate.

Maybe you are an annoying person but don't realize it? I mean, if you take the time and effort to get to know these people and they keep leaving, it might be you. Sometimes you have good intentions and are trying to be nice but to someone else they may find it annoying. I would not worry about it too much and not take it personally. People will come and go in mmos.

OP, disparaging women is probably not a good way to appeal to a solid chunk of the player base. Yes, I know it's a joke, everyone clearly does- but if you say that sort of stuff in FC chat it sends a very negative message to any women who may join.

Make your FC however you want it. The folk who like it will stay, those who don't will leave. Good luck.
